Dedicated to advocating for Iowans without letting any political party agenda interfere with her duty to serve. Standing up for individuals over corporate interests.

Leading by example and committed to fighting for Congressional term limits. Opposing entitlements to members of Congress - like ending pensions provided in addition to their IRA. Pledging to get her own health insurance in the same system she helps to create for all Americans.

Ready to leverage the unique power of independent, non-partisan Senate-member status to promote a more functional government and improve our democracy for Iowans and Americans. The current narrow party majority in the U.S. Senate makes NOW the best opportunity for Iowa to lead the nation by electing an independent.

Focused on sound economic policies to empower and protect you, while staying ever-vigilant to prevent misuse and waste of taxpayer dollars.

An economist with hands-on healthcare experience (former ER nurse for 17 years). Suzanne's healthcare reform proposals have bipartisan appeal with the best chance for broad Congressional support- to benefit the most Iowans and Americans in the least amount of time.

Will do her duty to restore the power of the legislative branch- enforcing checks & balances to prevent abuses of power and make our government work for the people.

Meet Suzanne and Jim

We’re glad you’re here! I’m Iowa’s independent candidate for U.S. Senate 2020 and will be on the ballot to offer Iowans a powerful, non-partisan voice in Washington. My partner, Jim Copeland and I, have spent our lives enjoying wonderful life experiences with great neighbors throughout the state. Our campaign strives to maintain a positive tone and focuses on better solutions and leadership for Iowans. Regardless of your political party affiliation (or if you feel that no political party adequately represents your views), I want to be your voice to demand more rational, fact-based and effective policies in Washington.

Here I offer my perspective and some proposals for what I plan to accomplish for you in the U.S. Senate, but I also want input from you! It is high time that Iowa is represented by a senator who listens to, and wholeheartedly supports all Iowans. We will move forward together on important issues by maintaining civil discourse, supporting policies based on substantiated facts (instead of political allegiance), and by carefully considering the implications and costs of the proposed solutions. Jim and I sincerely believe that Iowans and Americans deserve a more functional government, and that the division and stagnation perpetuated by our two party system can be defeated..

I look forward to hearing how you feel about the issues affecting Iowans and Americans – and hopefully meeting you, as I travel throughout this great state. Don’t hesitate to reach out to me to help you understand what this choice means – so that you are prepared when you see my name on the ballot in 2020..
